Tours special event champion and 1900 ladder team
It has been a long time I didn't write.
I am Aleik, a player from France, and I got 1st place at Tours special event.
The team is inspired from this article.

技: サイコキネシス こごえるかぜ サイドチェンジ トリックルーム
Psychium Z is by far the best cress in kang archetypes. It improves the Gengar Kommo matchup and deals with Amoonguss in Metagross matchup. Enough speed to outspeed adamant max speed salamence. Can 2hko it if it's -spdef nature. Also 2hko non-AV Landorus. I didn't know what to choose for the last move, so I choose Ally Switch (笑). It's a shitty move that can makes you win where you supposed to lose. It really helps for the Metagross and Charizard Y matchups.

Deals against Gardevoir constructions and Rain. The Assault Vest allows you to hold a lot of things, like Ludicolo's Ice Beam and Pelipper's Hurricane, or 4 Hyper Voice from Gardevoir. The list is long, you can find out by yourself (笑). Enough speed to outspeed Pelipper.
